The dashed outline is FireRadar's curated regional counting extent. Incident points, smoke forecasts, and AQHI observations are separate datasets and should not be interpreted as evacuation boundaries or fire-spread predictions. FireRadar regional extents may overlap near transition areas. Regional totals are useful local summaries and must not be added together to produce a province total.
Regional context
Wildfire context across Algoma
Algoma includes extensive mixed and boreal forest, Lake Superior shorelines, river and lake country, forestry and mining activity, remote recreation, rail infrastructure, and long Highway 17 and 129 corridors. Wildfires can affect road and rail travel, industrial operations, backcountry access, nearby communities, and smoke across a large area that benefits from a regional rather than city-only view.

Latest completed comparison
What changed around Algoma
Matched regional examples from FireRadar's completed 2026-08-13 → 2026-08-14 direct-official comparison. The retained incident-detail list is intentionally bounded, so absence here is not presented as proof that nothing changed in the region.
No regional incident from the bounded daily detail list matched a current source-provided point inside this extent. Use the province comparison for the complete jurisdiction-level counts.
Measured conditions
Air quality and AQHI
AQHI and observed PM2.5 provide measured air-quality context and remain distinct from FireWork forecast smoke. Station coverage varies across a region, especially in rural and remote areas.
